Dependencies and evenly distribution of backupjobs

4 votes

Sometimes it is neccessary that job1 has finished before job 2 starts. Or sometimes there are running 10 jobs at the same time and then there is running no job for at least 20 minutes. It isn`t always possible to distribute the jobs exactly because the most job runtime differs from one backup to the next backup. If the system distributes automatically the backupjob starttime, the master server and the whole environment will be used evenly and there will be no perfomance peeks!

I like this option. Perhaps it is just as simple as adding a checkbox to a job, "Start job early if no jobs are running" and have the Master start jobs earlier than scheduled with this flag set; as long as there are no jobs running.
